Sure, the \layout block is currently: \layout {}. Change this to
\layout { ragged-last=##f}. It will make the last system fill the
entire line, and the hyphens will show.

So, James say that again, please. I mean, what commands do I use &
where should I put them in this particular example - then I can
probably extrapolate that to other music later. Thanks for your
help & yours also Phil [& for pointing out my spelling error, btw].

I always forget that. In that case, forcing the breaking with a
manual \break so that the measure is spread out over a large enough
space should get that to work. I don't think the hyphenation is
meant to be "where do I want a hypen" but rather, "where is a
hyphen allowed". In this case, modifying the \layout block to have
ragged-last=##f will have it fill the entire last line, and the
hypens will show.

I think Michael might be pointing out that LilyPond doesn't
_always_ place a hyphen where you've put a hy -- phen in the lyrics
- it chooses whether to use one or not based on the spacing of the
music. To me, that's a bonus, but it may not be the style he is
looking for?
BTW - just one s in resurrection....

Hullo. I am using lilypond for the first time, & am finding it to

Kievan Chant. I am finding that when I use a syll -- a -- ble
that lilypond does not always give me the hyphen I ask for.
attached is my current 'code' (for lack of a better word for it)
for the Tone V. I wish to get a hyphen in the words ``glorious''
& ``Resurrection'' at the places where there is currently an
underscore [except in the last syllable of Resurrection where I
have the slur indicated]. Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like your finger slipped and fell on the shift key. If you
replace __ with --, you should get what you want.
